Reducing power dissipation from diodes is essential in all situations where high currents flow at relatively low voltages (e.g., when solar panels or lithium-ion batteries are connected in parallel).

Justin Mamaradlo continues his exploration of the P2 with a look at the diode bridge, including a modified version, and the offset adjust blocks. 1. This simplified block representation shows the ...

If you use surface mount diodes or LEDs, you probably understand the challenges involved in correctly and consistently indicating diode polarity. LEDs are usually cathode negative, while zeners and ...

A team of researchers has passed a major milestone in molecular electronics with the creation of the world's highest-performance single-molecule diode. Schematic of the molecular junction created ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Numerous devices are available, such as diode arrays, that make it easier than ever to design in electrostatic-discharge protection. Whether you’re designing integrated ...

Have you ever had an LED or other diode placed backwards? PCB assemblers work hard to place every component, from the largest, highest pin-count logic chip, down to the smallest passive components and ...

This is a basic schematic in order to protect your pedalboard against surges (VDR), short-circuit (fuse), electrical noise(EMI filter). You have to use at least a 230/12VAC transformer (best option ...
